The Philosopher’s Stone
Hunched over the stained and battered
table, the Magus
examines each sacred word of the
ancient tome splayed before him.
The dark scrawling script on the
withered pages are not new to him,
but each new examination is made in
hopes of a new enlightenment or
the slightest hint, to the mysteries of, dare I
say, the philosopher’s stone.
Legends and folk lore would have the
simple believe that the
co-mingling of base metals could
produce gold or silver, and hence,
untold fortune. However, the “magnum opus” or “great work,” of
those
such as Plato and Nicolas Flamel, was
to produce the “elixir of life.”
Rejuvenation!
Immortality!
Laughed at for years, derided at
every turn, the Mystic never wavers
from his pursuit for the tiniest of
particulars or the merest of signs.
Steadfast in his exploration, bathed
under the light from a single candle,
the Alchemist soldiers on with
patience and fortitude, tenacity and resilience.
Just as he has for the last 750
years.
